Schools are reminded they have until Thursday, 20 February 2025 to verify and confirm the achievement data submitted to the School Curriculum and Standards Authority for students in years other than Year 12.

The achievements required include:

• Course units (ATAR, General, Foundation, Preliminary and Vocational Education and Training (VET) Industry Specific courses) for Semester 1, 2 or Full year
• VET qualifications
• VET units of competency
• Department of Training and Workforce Development (DTWD) funded VET skill set unit of competency results (for Year 11 students only)
• DTWD funded VET skill sets results
• Endorsed programs.

The declaration forms for course units, VET and endorsed programs are to be completed and signed by the principal. The declaration forms are available for download on the Authority website under Forms > Applications and Order Forms titled 2025 Information Package – Secondary available via https://scsa.wa.edu.au/forms/forms.

Some schools had not finalised the transfer of their data by the end of the 2024 school year. If your school has not uploaded the appropriate data files to the Student Information Records System (SIRS), please do so as a matter of urgency.

To ensure you have no missing achievements please run the CSE009 – Missing Achievements by Provider report in SIRS. The pathway to this report is: Reports > Other Reports > Report Type: Missing Achievements > Report: CSE009 – Missing Achievements by Provider > Year: 2024 > Academic Year > Generate Report.

Note: Students who were allocated a U grade for Year 11 courses need to also have these results amended and re-uploaded into SIRS by Thursday, 20 February 2025 or the student’s U will default to an E grade.

A mark and a grade are required for all Year 11 students:

• a student’s school-based achievement for a Year 11 course may be recorded for each pair of units (i.e. one mark and one grade) or
• for each unit completed (i.e. a mark and grade for Unit 1 and a mark and grade for Unit 2).

Additionally, the VET Unique Student Identifier is a requirement for VET achievement intended for contribution towards the Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE) requirements.

The results for students who have left your school need to be finalised if they had enrolments. If the students should have been withdrawn from a course unit, this withdrawal will need to be uploaded through the ENCOS file to SIRS. If students have been withdrawn from VET units of competency and endorsed programs, this will need to be uploaded using the correct code through the RSVET and RSEND files respectively.
